They're universally human, independent of time, culture, and language. They're policies for making better life decisions, passed from the experienced to the inexperienced. And while it's tempting to dismiss them as droll or trite, doing so just underestimates the roles they play in both human understanding and teaching.

Read it to learn: Why proverbs reign supreme over other message types What makes proverbs the triple-threat of communications: memorable, repeatable and most importantly, persuasive A step-by-step methodology to apply the most powerful communications device in human history. The best writers, speakers, and teachers use proverbs. You should too.
